PREFACE.

SOME NURSERY RHYMES OF BELGIUM, FRANCE, AND RUSSIA.

THIS is the first time that the Nursery Rhymes ot Belgium, France, and Russia have been
put before English children with their native harmonies and illustrations. To MM. Plon,
Nourrit et Cie, I am immensely indebted for allowing me not only to take the songs
from their two delightful books "Chansons de France pour les Petits Frani;ais," and "Vieilles
Chansons et Danses pour les Petits Enfaiits," where they were harmonised by that master of
French folk-song, J. B. Weckerlin, but also to use the incomparable illustrations of M. B. de
Monvel. With MM. Plon, Nourrit et Cie, "I must include also Madame de Monvel, without
whose kind permission the illustrations of her late husband could not have been reproduced. _,

The Russian songs with their original harmonies and illustrations are from a popular children's
book published in Moscow. I should like to thank Miss Winerich for helping me to get the
spirit of these Russian songs which she had sung as a child in the great country of her birth.

No Belgian children's book could be found, no permission could be obtained, even to use one or
two of the children's songs occurring in modern Belgian collections in England, so 1 have had to
obtain them chiefly from the mouths of those who have been driven from their land by the
tragedy of the war. I should especially like to thank M. Bouckenooghe and M. Sturbelle for the
kind assistance they have given me in this connection. The songs " Little Man John," " Little
Scamp," "The Giant," "Where are you off to, my Marie so fair .''" " Sleep, Laddie, Sleep," belong
to the Flemish-speaking provinces ; " Dance Marienika " is sung in both French and Flemish
parts, and the other two in the French provinces. These airs have been harmonised by Miss Lucy
Broadwood, and illustrated by M. Alfred Bastien, a Belgian artist, who made these drawings in
the trenches whilst fighting for his King and country.

LITTLE MAN JOHN.

Little man John would be a horseman
If he a saddle could but find ;
We look to see what we can beg,
And find the shell of a broken egg.
Ho ! Ho ! little man John
Has a fine horse to ride upon.

Little man John would be a horseman
If he a bridle could but find ;
We take a piece of silken cord,
A bridle strong is John's reward.
Ho ! Ho ! little man John
Has a fine horse to ride upon.

Little man John would be a horseman
If he a stirrup could but find ;
We take the kettle's handle round.
And John is seated with a bound.
Ho ! Ho ! little man John
Has a fine horse to ride upon.

Altho' the months pass by.

To look across the sea.

The second held his shield.

The third he held his sabre,

The third he held his sabre.
The fourth he carried nought.

Thev planted Rosemary,
With a tan-ta-ra rinna rainy ;
They planted Rosemary
Around and on his grave.

There sang upon the branches,
With a tan-ta-ra rinna rainy ;
There sang upon the branches
A plaintive nightingale.

W^e saw his soul rise upwards,
With a tan-ta-ra rinna rainy ;
We saw his soul rise upwards,
Soar upwards through the leaves.

Thus ends my tale of Malbrough,

Thus ends my tale of Malbrough,
I think you've had enough.

When he came to man's estate

He'd sweethearts quite a scon
They followed him, those maids

Whene'er he walked before.
He had talents quite complete,

More than I'll disclose ;
What he wrote in verses nej,t

Was not set down in prose.

He would travel here and there

Through the kingdom wide.
Stopped within the lown so fair,

Or remained outside.
In peace or war his time he spent

On any boat at hand ;
Water was his eiemenl

Unless he chose the land.

When at last his luck was tied,

A cruel wound cut short all,
And they found, since he was dead,

That the wound was mortal.
It was Friday when he died,

In the month of June :
Had he lived a week beside

He had not died so suon.

CRADLE SONG.

Soon, too soon, a time is coming Vou will uave }our hxrcwell to :

When aw.i_v you'll ride, But that night in bed

With your foot within the stirrup, I with sleepless eyes and sorrow

Your gun at your side.

Bitter tears will shed.

Dreams will tell me )ou are homesick
In those foreign lands. [from you,
Sleep, then, now while care's far
While I kiss your hands.

You'll remember ere the battle
All my love for you. [darling
Sleep on now, my son, my

I with silks will sew

I ^h.all watch you start.

Rich and noble you'll appear, but

Cossack in vour heart.

I shall break my heart with longing. Keep your holy Eikon near yo

I shall pr.ay .all d.iy ; That to you I'll give ;

All my thoughts will travel to you Kneel in front ot it in prayer,

When you're tar aw.iy. Guard it while you live.
